OT: Google Earth Download

It depends on the area and satellite.
In the picture of my house, it shows a blue van which my family sold about 2 years ago.
We also had some extensive work done about 7 years ago, and either I can't see it, or the picture is before then.

I looked again, that is my old truck ( that I sold 2 + years ago) it's in the right spot, and backed in, as was my practice ! I accept that as proof these images are years old !

This is insane. Thanks for sharing oldirtyku


I can see everything that is around me. Then I can zoom out and skate to other streets in my town. It's just crazy. What the hell.

Just wait until this is in Realtime

If this goes to real time. I will never be safe as my girl will be able to spot me drinking at a bar when I am supposed to be "helping freinds move".

Nice tool. I wonder how often they update the shots?

i have typed in about 20 addresses and the only one that comes in clear is mine! the rest you cannot even really see! what's up with that?

The video card has alot to with it. I had the same problem, so I changed my video card and it works like a charm, clear, etc.

One of my girl's parents' houses was built, I'd say, 5-6 years ago. It's just an empty land mass in Google Earth. Construction had not even started on that site.

I emailed and questioned how offen do they update the views, etc. The reply I received was that for security reasons, they can't state exactly how offen they update the views.
